It was really dependent on the gap in the poles of the record head. Smaller gap gave you more hi-freq. It really varied from machine-to-machine and manufacturer-to-manufacturer. I was happy just to get 22k out of the A800, but the roll-off was quite drastic above that. And the S/N of this model was 7-10dB better than most anything else on the market, approaching 72dB in some cases (16-track/2-inch head stack) because the first pre-amp stage was literally inches below the heads. The studio I built back in '83 still has that machine. I've offered to buy it from them but they won't sell it. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48748 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
